Cash app is the PERFECT solution to bringing an average person into btc, it's perfect for your girlfriend or wife. Almost everything is instant with sending whatever kind of money, and you can not only have a chipped card from them that you can customize some of the design on [sleek black card] but you can pull it up as a virtual card on your phone whenever you like too. The limits are actually decently high too

You can't send to it, only withdraw what you've purchased, so SegWit doesn't apply to this. I have withdrawn from it to a SegWit address, but that's not generally the issue when talking about SegWit support.

Compared to Coinbase: The spread is a little bid wider, but there are no separate fees. You end up with more BTC/$ with Square than with Coinbase. You will also be allowed to withdrawal your BTC immediately with Square; whereas with Coinbase you will have to pay an additional fee to do that. Square is the way to go.

It's already a great replacement for coinbase and other fiat apps like paypal/venmo. I actually love the app-card interface, and the ease at which you can buy and sell BTC to fiat in the app is second to none. Having a BTC maximalist in charge is very comforting too.

There are none of Coinbase's huge fees for buying btc, as well.

Sadly, they don't let you send external bitcoins into your account, however. There is no replacement for Bitpay's visa debit card here, for instance. If they add that function It'll be game over for the rest of the market... Cash App will be the one app to rule all fiat to btc interaction. (In the US, at least.)

A community dedicated to Bitcoin, the currency of the Internet. Bitcoin is a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. You might be interested in Bitcoin if you like cryptography, distributed peer-to-peer systems, or economics. A large percentage of Bitcoin enthusiasts are libertarians, though people of all political philosophies are welcome.

Begging/asking for bitcoins is absolutely not allowed, no matter how badly you need the bitcoins. Only requests for donations to large, recognized charities are allowed, and only if there is good reason to believe that the person accepting bitcoins on behalf of the charity is trustworthy.
